    HCigar KFL Lite Plus V2 from Vape Royalty ordered. I am familiar with this model, shouldn't be too difficult to master. Now I just need to find someone who sells HCigar 'parts' to finish off my grand scheme here....
    Papaw just use the chamber and chimney from the SM KFL in the Hcigar that should give you what you want .

    Thanks a lot, man. Made the decision very easy for me, just how I like it. :) Now I gotta hunt for the best deal on the iStick on Cyber Monday. BTW, I notice that the KFM, which you legendarily made be buy, doesn't get a lot of respect on the forum. It even got discontinued for Christ's sake! :confused: I personally like it better than the Magma and KFL+. Less gurgling, smoother draw, virtually no leaking if you fill it up the right way. PS- Scarfy strongly suggested a Youde AGA-T5. Anyone here familiar with it?
    The T5 is a nice atty based on the Kayfun design , it's not going to be drastically different from a KFL in terms of vape quality . It's all gonna be in the build as far as what you're you'll get out of either . I wouldn't sweat over the differences between the KFM clones , the Ivogo version works just as well . The FT forum is good for a laugh but little else , they argue over the boxes the clones come in for crissake , I just look at the reviews and filter those through what I already know .

    So it's close enough to not look stupid, but keep the beauty ring on the P2. Sounds about right......

    You would be correct. The difference isn't even noticeable on the P3 and you'll need the beauty ring for your P2 or it will look real dopey without. I'm guessing Dust sent you the same ring I have since I got my ring from Dust.

    Good trade Papaw and Dusty!

    Papaw....I'm a mouth to lung vaper also and am finding the new atty I have a bit airy... even in single coil mode with a pin hole for air flow. I put my rm2 back on and it's like... Ahhhh.. nice and smooth! I haven't given up on it yet though... still playing.

    I finally got my Infiniti KFL+ v2 in from FT that I ordered 3 weeks ago...

    I set it up in nano mode and lost 17mm in height compared to the Aerotank v2 I had been running on my VS DNA 30. I went a bit bigger in diameter, instead of a 1.6mm coil, I built a 2mm macro coil ( compressed ) with 9 wraps of 28g coming in at 1.5Ω. This is also the first time I've used cotton for wicking... I'd picked up some Japanese cotton from eBay and it goes in easily... easier than the silica that I'd been using up until this point.

    I have a EhPro KFL from a year ago but had quit using it for a few reasons. It didn't have AFC on it, I didn't have a nano kit so it was large and heavy and it'd gunk a coil before I finished a tank ( NET e-liquids ) and at that time I was only building spaced coils so changing wicks was enough of a pain I'd just completely rebuild everytime instead.

    Since it is wider than my Vapershark... I went with the black one so you don't see the overhang as easily. Vapor production is much better than the Aerotank dual coils ( or even my rebuilt single coils )... I can't say much about taste yet until I get the coil broke in so the metallic flavor goes away, it is a denser flavor though but has a bit of a twang to it ( Hollywood Knights reference ).

    The Nano conversion makes sense for the VS.

    True that... and I was taking that into account a little... mostly the capacity works better for the NET's so I'm not having to empty a tank after the coil gunks.

    Most of those NETs from GeJ, QnJ, W2V, etc.. will kill a coil within 2mls. Another reason to like HHV...they're clean.

    I do like HHV... just don't satisfy some portions of my habit. Ahl+, when they had NET's... did pretty good. NET.com's juices are also some of my favorites. Some of MVJ's liquids also have flavors that I'm drawn too and are easy on coils... just a little light on flavor is all. I haven't tried Diane's newer extractions which are suppose to be better and easier on coils.

    Odd thing is that I'm not drawn ( flavorwise ) to sweeter NET's like some of the HHV ones I cared for the most... yet now I'm having a bit of an affair with NET.com's tRY4.1 which is really sweat but it's also equally heavy in flavor.
